> The Small Business Pollution Prevention Center has recently completed a
> study of the impact of pollution prevention. The study methods and
> resulting report is available on the IWRC website. 
>
> The State of Pollution Prevention 
> Pollution prevention programs exist to a degree in every state throughout
> the United States, with many states having individual local programs.
> According to the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable's Pollution
> Prevention Yellow Pages, 98 programs provide direct pollution prevention
> assistance to businesses. A few programs have been in existence since the
> 1980s, while most  were established after the passage of the
> Pollution Prevention Act of 1990. 
>
> The intent of this document is to provide a snapshot of the impact these
> pollution 
> prevention programs have had in the last decade. We have profiled the
> types of programs in each region where success has been documented. Some
> statewide programs are missing due to non-response or lack of program
> measurement data. Local government pollution prevention providers were
> not included in this initial report. In some instances, this information
> is as simplistic as the number of on-site visits that have been provided
> since inception. In other examples, programs have made efforts to
> document the waste reduction impact and cost savings of their pollution
> prevention recommendations.
